Re: multiple exc servers

I'd be surprised if that has the result you want. The following is from

Designating Routing Group Masters
Each Exchange routing group has a routing group master. The master server is
responsible for distributing link state information among the routing
group's member servers. Only two states exist for any link. The link is
either up or down. If a link is up, Exchange Server can establish a
connection over the link and then use the connection to deliver mail. If a
link is down, Exchange 2000 Server can't use the link and routing group
servers must find an alternate route to the destination.

When a link is down, the server that identified the outage notifies the
master server of the condition. The master server in turn notifies the other
member servers within the routing group. The master server checks the link
every 60 seconds until the link can be reestablished. Once the link is
reestablished, the master server notifies the member servers that the link
is up.

Normally, the routing group master is the first server installed in the
routing group, but you can designate any server in the group as the master.
To do this, follow these steps:

1.
Start System Manager. Expand Administrative Groups, and then select the
administrative group that contains the routing group you want to work with.

2.
Expand Routing Groups, and then expand the routing group you want to
work with.

3.
In the Members folder, right-click the server you want to designate as
the master server, and then select Set As Master.


Link state information helps Exchange 2000 Server determine the best route
to take to deliver messages. In a well-connected Exchange organization,
there should be redundant communication paths to ensure that messages can be
delivered. One way to create redundant communication paths is to install
multiple connectors between routing groups.
